I see that this quick disconnect is quite ppopular and am trying to understand if its worth it or not.

I was thinking cars with fixed seats that place the driver close to the wheel would probably find this usefulf more.

I have corbeaus on sliders and am 6ft 2" tall and genrally have the sliders all the way back. I am not sure how this will benefit me, per say.

I want see what people who track or race think of this setup and why they went with it?

Thanks!

 

i think that they r gay!!! you dony need it unless you to fat to get in the car with out the wheel in place just my 2cents

 

So wow, every race car in the world including WRC, F1, Le Mans, etc. etc. are all gay? 'Scuse me, "r all gay"?

Thems some pretty strong words, boyo.

wow, 2 replies and neither help - please don't let me thread be the grounds for a pissing contest - can someone tell how they help - for racing I know space concerns and driver changes, it helps. Theft perhaps, but for HPDE use etc, I am curious how it helps...

 

it doesn't help...its main purpose is to get out of the car when you have a fixed seat.

 

Do you struggle getting out of a race bucket with the stock wheel? If it's not a pain, then you can just use a long hub and put the aftermarket wheel where the stock one is and be good.

If it's ever popped in your mind that "hey, it'd be easier to get out of this car without this danged steering wheel in the way!" then you need a short hub and a quick release.

But, there's also the added security of being able to put a locked cover on the quick release and stash your wheel in the trunk or something.

how about this would be good form of anti theft?


instead of the club. take the damn wheel with you!!!

 

is your evo a full race car? most r not what the point of a removeable wheel really ? but what do i know like i said befor just my 2cents do with it as you wish
-good day-

 

I dont think so..I have stock seat and stock wheel and would consider this mod. just for when Im at the track. Because I do have a removable side bar for the street. Maybe hard to tell from the pic but there is not much room to squeeze out of the car when the bar is in.

 

Can I get more into on your cage, please? Autopower or custom? Bolt in or weld in etc - Thanks!

 

for your car yes for the everyday evo no i think its a wast of $$ if you dont really need it most people just want to be F&F.

 

I am not asking to be a F&F guy. My car will be much more race oriented...Thats why I ask. Thanks!

 

im not saying you are but you asked so i gave you my opinion

 

Modern Seatbelts are designed to work WITH airbags by stretching during an accident so the energy dissipation is not all in the belt. by letting your body move into the airbag it reduces the chances of whiplash & other injuries. this becomes a problem if you are using an aftermarket wheel with no airbag. without the airbags to compliment the stretchng of the belts the steering wheel will be what stops you.

i was in a offset head on collision when an idiot turned into me while both of us were both doing roughly 30 MPH. when i got out of the car my seatbelt had stretched to almost 2x the length & was literally hot to the touch from stretching. i have no doubt that i am still here today because of the airbag.

aftermarket steering wheels are fine, just make shure you use a harness with it & not the OEM belts

if you already have a wheel & were just asking bout the quick diconnect, i apologize for going off on a rant go for it, just keep in mind a quick disconnect will typically move the wheel closer to you than a non removable mount

 

no worries - seat belt assemblies have been fully removed. Harnesses and cage to follow this winter. Hence question to guy above regarding cage! I am going autopower 99%, but a part of me wonders if I should have a weld-in cage instead!
